The office of Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Tipton, confirmed Thursday that Walberg will seek re-election in 2014. The confirmation came in answer to a question about Walberg's intentions following the announcement by former state Rep. Pam Byrnes, D-Chelsea, that she will run for the seat now held by Walberg.

Asked if Walberg wanted to comment on Byrnes' announcement, Walberg's communications director, Sarah Kuziomko, released the following statement:

"Congressman Walberg is focused on building a healthy economy and working with colleagues to help hardworking taxpayers by making government live within its means, improving education and workforce training, stopping the IRS from abusing citizens, and repealing the government takeover of health care that is raising costs and hurting families."
